I was planning this day trip for quite some time but could not choose among several travel agencies which offer that option. In the end I've decided to go with Mantis Tours because it was the only company that offered me a private minivan in Jordan and an option to visit "Monastery" on the same day. The whole experience with Mantis was just brilliant, everything was arranged over email and messenger and on the day we were picked up by a very welcoming agency owner (I think). From that point everything is exceptionally was well organised, we went through a border crossing pretty quickly and met by lovely Jordanian team, very professional and friendly Ahmed and Musa. By the end of the day they became like family to us, I'm glad we had a chance to talk to them and ask about various aspects of local life. The whole trip was nicely timed and we were at the right spots at best times with less crowds. Without going in tedious details, I suggest everyone who is short on time yet wants to see best of Petra to use that tour option.

We just returned to the United States this Sunday from spending time in Israel and Jordon. Mantis Tours arranged everything for us on our trip to Jordon. We were met at the airport in Eliat (Israel) by Mr. Mantis and driven to the border. Mantis Tours got our visas made all of the arrangements for our border crossing had a driver and guide waiting for us in Jordon. We spent four days touring Jordon, Petra, Amman, Jaresh everything went smoothly. Mr. Mantis arranged everything, he was recommended to us by a friend who had used him and I would not hesitate to use him again or to
recommend him to a friend.

We buy a tickets in Eilat beach from Lior for guided diving. We decided to pick up from the hotel at.9am next morning. Lior was waiting us front of the hotel as promiced and he took us to the diving center with his car. Guys in the center was really professionals! They give us a short lesson what to do, how to act in the water and so on. Diving goes really fine, views under water was amazing and it was totally new experiece, thank's because professional guides. After diving we stay on the nice beach and enjoy restaurant services and of course sun shine. A really worthwhile trip!! Thank's for Lior and Mantis Travels!

This one day trip to Petra from Eilat was well organized. We were 5 persons in group. Border crossing fees and Petra entrance tickets are fixed value and is worth to pay a bit more for good organization, fast border crossing.

We took the tour 16 February 2020 from Eilat to Petra. Everything was very good! Special thanks to Lior - a man in a hat 🤠 for very good organisation . A wonderful lunch in a Jordanian restaurant was included compared to other operators who gave people boxes of food .. And thanks a lot for the gifts: branded magnet , bandana, water, a calendar with our photo and chocolate. A little details but pleasant!Thanks a lot! The next time we are in Eilat, we will definitely take some more tour from this company. Mantis Tours .Recommended! 👍

Lior at Mantis tours did a great job organizing our 2 day Petra and Wadi Rum excursions from Eilat. He has the great connections at the border and in Jordan and he has a great sense of humour. He handed us over to person to navigate the border then we were transferred to the tour bus and our guide Karim. Karim took such great care of our group and was the kindest person who was so conscientious and considerate. The meals provided by the tour were fresh and delicious. Everything went smoothly and we were made to feel very welcome in Jordan.
The Wadi Rum Bedouin camp was an amazing experience with all the amenities you could want. Karim came with us on the desert tour and made sure we got the best views of Wadi Rum and we able to enjoy the beauty of the desert. I highly recommend the sunrise camel ride for a bit of an extra cost.

We took a one-day trip from Eilat to Petra with Mantis Tour and had a great experience, everything worked out perfectly. They came to pick us up from the hotel to the Jordanian border, since we were a large group they invited a taxi as well so we had two cars. They gave us instructions on crossing the border and meeting up with the Jordanian tour operator, that was waiting from the other side. The Jordanian tour operator picked up about 50 people from different Israeli tour operators and was very professional and nice. The drive to Petra took about 2.5 hours. We stopped a couple of times and also got to try fresh Jordanian bread. Petra itself is amazing and the tour also included a meal at a local restaurant which was not very exciting and very full. However, the trip was really good value for the money.

Just one comment to any Israelis considering doing this trip. It is a game changer when traveling to Eilat, giving a feeling of traveling abroad. We were carrying Israeli passports, with children shouting n Hebrew, and felt very safe and comfortable throughout the trip. The Jordanians we encountered were very hospitable and excited to meet Israelis, most of the other travelers in our group were foreign non-Israelis, and we liked speaking with people from different countries.

Booking was easy with Lior. We opted for 2 days Petra plus 1 day Wadi Rum. Lior met us at the border and gave us detailed instructions for crossing the border. We were met on Jordan side by representative there, and then paired up with a driver for 2-3 days. All went smooth, Petra hotel was solid (what a buffet) and just minutes from Petra entrance. Wadi Rum was also a unique experience and we enjoyed it. Lior again met us upon return...he is such a character, you won't forget him! I gladly recommend Mantis Tours, and wouldn't hesitate to rebook with them in the future.

We arrived to Eilat from where Lior organized for us 2 super tours, first day into the Petra mountains and then we departed to Cairo for a 2 days tour. Everything was perfectly coordinated bus, drivers, guides, entrance fees, lunch and dinners. We just enjoyed so much without any worries.
Lior took us to and from the borders and was in contact all the time.

I strongly recommend you to pick Mantis Tours for a worries free trip.

My wife and I did the 2 day Petra/Wadi Rum tour organized by Mantis Tours and highly recommend them! We went in confidently since they had been recommended to us by friends who are very savvy travelers, and our expectations were more than met. Every aspect of the trip from the pickup at our hotel, through border crossings and the sites themselves went seamlessly and without stress. Needless to say, Wadi Rum and Petra are spectacular, but the experiences were curated perfectly by knowledgable, personable, and well-attuned guides. All around a great experience.
